As a Lead Software Engineer at JPMorgan Chase within the Consumer and community banking technology - Business Banking team, you are an integral part of an agile team that works to enhance, build, and deliver trusted market-leading technology products in a secure, stable, and scalable way. As a core technical contributor, you are responsible for conducting critical technology solutions across multiple technical areas within various business functions in support of the firm’s business objectives. Job responsibilities Executes creative software solutions, design, development, and technical troubleshooting with ability to think beyond routine or conventional approaches to build solutions or breakdown technical problems Develops secure and high-quality production code, and reviews and debugs code written by others Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team. Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation. Lead technical design and delivery of complex full-stack capabilities (Java/Spring Boot + React/Angular). Drive event-driven patterns using Kafka (idempotency, retries, ordering, error handling). Establish strong engineering practices (test strategy, automation, CI/CD quality gates, observability). Own production excellence: incident reduction, RCA prevention, performance tuning, and operational readiness. Mentor engineers and influence technical direction across squads and partner teams. Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
